ROCHESTER, N.Y., October 27 --
Align Technology, Inc., maker of the Invisalign system of
clear removable
Aligners for straightening teeth, has teamed with Eastman Kodak
Company to enhance dental professionals' ability to
document and communicate patient information.

Align Technology now offers the Kodak Dental
Photographic Template (DPT),
developed in conjunction with Kodak's Dental Systems
business, to doctors who complete Invisalign certification.
Doctors use the
DPT software to photo-document the teeth of patients entering
Invisalign
treatment. Align
Technology's lab technicians use these photographs and
other dental records to create each series of unique,
custom-made Aligners during the Invisalign manufacturing
process.

Align Technology will also offer the Kodak EasyShare
DX4900 Zoom Digital Camera
Kit and photographic quality Kodak
DMI Inkjet Paper at Invisalign certification seminars. The
kit includes a Kodak DX4900 camera, customized with
built-in distance and framing guides to help ensure consistent,
professionally-framed dental images, and a Kodak EasyShare
Camera Dock II for
transferring images to a computer or network.

"Our relationship with Kodak underscores the growing
role of digital imaging in dentistry," said Dr. Lou Shuman, vice
president of clinical education at Align Technology. "Both Align
and Kodak are committed to providing dental professionals with
the most advanced and effective products for their practices."

"Digital photography makes communication between
doctors and labs as efficient as it is effective," said William
Altvater, manager, digital sales, Kodak's Dental Systems
business. "Kodak is pleased that we are able to simplify the
photographic capture of patient images and workflow using our
imaging science expertise to help Align Technology enhance its
services."
